The series Mad Men is entering it's last season. We have so enjoyed the story lines and have swooned over the amazing fashion and interior design. They have stayed true to the era and have inspired us to revisit the style and swag of the 1960's.

LA Times

LA Times

Vintage Home Shop will continue to find all the mid-century modern pieces that reflect that time.

I have lots of followers who are on the look out for Cathrineholm..from California to Norway.Whenever I am fortunate enough to find a piece of Cathrineholm enamelware I will share it here. You can purchase it in my shop on Etsy...just click on the photo and it will take you there.

I happened to notice Cathrineholm designs on Pinterest...classic mid century modern to me...with a touch of Scandinavian. The Lotus design intrigued me. During a romp through Goodwill, I love my romps by the way, I found a basket of nick nacks and inside this little collection were three spice jars. Could they be Cathrineholm? I peeked at the base and found a Made in Japan sticker. Uh? Well a quick google search on my phone revealed that, yes, Cathrineholm manufactured in Japan for the American market. Good to know.I bought the basket for a song. Took them home. Posted them on my Etsy Shop and a mere 6 hours later they were sold to a collector in Norway.

That day my love affair with Cathrineholm began. Because of the sale. No. Because of the beauty and the simple design of the pieces. The more research I do, the deeper my obsession becomes. The designer responsible for this striking collection was a woman by the name of Grete Prytz Kittelsen and is she if oft times referred to as the “Queen of Scandinavian Design”.

I will continue to search and research the collection. I hope to send them on to collectors...so let me know if you are interested and I will give you first chance before I list them.
